Is exploiting websites finding from google the only way of practising exploitation skill?

a pentester or hacker can practise an exploit related to web applications by downloading the vulnerable web application rather than trying to find sites vulnerable to that exploit if gathering experience is the main target of a hacker.because,we cant often get websites to practise exploits to improve our skills.so,downloading the respective vulnerable web application shortens our time and helps us improve our exploitation skill.as i said before,if you try things manually,you will be able to get a lot of experience than doing things with automated tools.
also,if you are a exploit patcher,you can improve your patching skill by trying that skill on that vulnerable web application.
now,where to find such apps?
www.dvwa.co.uk is the official site of damn vulnerable web applications(DVWA) where such softwares can be found.
and also look in exploit databases sites for getting related vulnerable web app.
